|
|
Hi.
Don't want to install pipewire. For years we had pulse audio that sucked. Now it works more or less, now pipewire is shoved down the throats. And it sucks now too. I constantly have problem with microphone.
- media-video/pipewire-1.0.5::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
(dependency required by "sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.4::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "x11-base/xwayland-23.2.6::gentoo[libei]" [installed])
(dependency required by "x11-wm/mutter-45.5::gentoo[wayland]" [installed])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
I checked USE flags of all those above, non have pipewire.
Yet https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal/dependencies
This one has it as dependency. So... Gentoo is basically telling us, no pipewire - no kde/gnome? _________________ Just a user. |

Gentoo doesn't say anything at all, simply some kde or gnome packages require pipewire. _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

pipewire is not only for audio (screencast), and not all software's upstream bothers making use of its library optional like xdg-desktop-portal does (that package is not gnome-specific and is also pulled by plasma-meta, tend to be needed for proper DE integration).
That doesn't mean you have to stop using pulseaudio and setup pipewire though, much like how many packages will still want wayland libraries even if you still use X11.
That aside, migrating to pipewire isn't such a bad idea... but even if you do you'll find yourself still needing libpulse and USE=pulseaudio on packages You'll just have a different daemon running. |

You can still use pulse-audio as a sound server. Just enable daemon on pulseaudio and then resolve the conflicts. Pipewire is required for screencast and other stuff.

Daemon is enabled. And conflicts are why I am here...
I will emerge pipewire and not use it. But I am pretty sure i will have problems with it installed.
Ill respond later once I have done it. _________________ Just a user. |

I think you can get what you want by installing pipewire with USE='-sound-server' _________________ Make Computing Fun Again |
